Neymar follows in the footsteps of Ronaldo.. The Asian knot hits the legends
Sudan Events – Agencies
Football legends always tend to play with clubs within the Asian continent after the end of the European journey, such as: Spaniard Andres Iniesta and other stars who were followed by Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar da Silva, but they all lived difficult and unforgettable moments and failed to combine the European and Asian championships with the current season. The best evidence of this is after Neymar, Ronaldo and Benzema joined this blacklist. Neymar’s appearance in the Asian Championship was limited to only 3 matches, before he suffered a cruciate ligament tear with the Brazilian national team last October. Benzema suffered from poor performance in addition to not participating in two quarter-final matches against Al-Hilal due to injury, and the same is the case for Frenchman N’Golo Kante, who did not perform at the required level with Al-Ittihad.
As for Ronaldo, he was able to score 6 goals, including one goal against Al Ain, and wasted a series of easy opportunities, leaving the tournament unexpectedly. Consequently, the “yellow continent” became a strong curse for international football stars who had previously won the Champions League.
